It was good to head out of the cold to the warmth of Mackay in North Queensland. I got into the tropical swing of things pretty quickly.

I spent a busy few days visiting seven schools over two weeks catching up with old friends in new schools. I'd met David out at Longreach and Bronwyn used to be at Emmanuel in Mackay. St Brendan's is the newest school in the Rockhampton Diocese.

Here I am catching up with Jacinta and Sarah at St Anne's in Mackay, two old students who came back to make guest appearances in the afternoon.
